Hello Again
Thought I better get Writing as the time has flown by again and you must be wondering what we are up to, Just been to check and it’s not as bad as I thought, it was the 28th April the last time I wrote
so that’s not so bad, but we are still here in Evesham as we were working on the boat, you know Touching up the paint work spring cleaning and then I saw another new boats windows, and thought that we would love to have them, when I say windows I mean doors, well when I say doors I mean sort of glass doors in the side doors so that when we have them open when the weather is cold outside we can still have the sun and the warmth too. Now if that makes no sense to you check out the boaty pictures in the gallery and I will put a picture of before and after and it will all become a whole lot clearer.
Although we have been working Richard and I have still been managing to get out and about on our bikes, now after getting lost and going on dangerously big roads I plotted a course for us and Oh what a difference it makes if you know where you are headed, so last Sunday, no the Sunday before we had Sunday lunch in a gorgeous little village Fladbury, miles away but such a safe and easy way to go when planned correctly, I got a map off the computer and it makes such a difference when you are not lost!. The day before on Saturday 1st May whilst cycling in to Evesham and the shops we saw that there was a massive rowing competition going on, so we went to the shops did our shopping and got a picnic and went and watched, I had never seen such a massive regatta, “I suppose it’s because of the river that is here” well I supposed it would be they couldn’t do it without!! But it was new to us, so we thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle, never had we seen so many long boats of a different kind to ours. We had a visit from Joey and Jayne, the weather was pretty miserable so we stayed in the boat with fish and chips.
It’s been really cold, we went to king’s Lynn on Thursday for a week as it was time to visit all our beautiful grandchildren again, and also we had a birthday party to go to, Richards friend Rick was 60, he didn’t know we were going to be at the party so we had to tell him that we were going home on the Monday, and so on the Tuesday the day of the party we were creeping around King’s Lynn in case he saw us and ruined the surprise, anyway it was a great night, so congratulations Rick, great to see you again.
We came back to the boat today still a freezing cold wind is blowing so can’t wait until this weather changes for the better, we might have to stay in the Marina here for a couple more days as my cousin is over from Australia and he is coming to join us for a few days, so we thought we would take him to Stratford as it is such a pretty trip, and Everybody that comes to England likes to visit Stratford so that’s what we will do, will write all about it when he’s been, so as you may notice this is a bit rushed just to bring you up to date with what’s “occurring” as Nessa would say “ check out the gallery for our latest pictures and see you next time, with hopefully more tales of travelling.
Bye for now
Lots of love
Chrissie and Richard x x |
